Katherine Heigl -- Smokin' Hot Butt-head

She plays a doctor on TV -- so shouldn't she know smoking is bad for you!?


TMZ caught amazingly gracious Emmy winner Katherine Heigl outside the Ivy yesterday, where she was having a celebratory lunch with her mother. Lighting up a cigarette and puffing away as she signed photo after photo for all the autograph hunters, Heigl was extremely generous to the paps -- and at one point even signed our photographer's arm!

Hi-gull's mom had to step up and play handler for a moment -- calling a code red and whisking her daughter from the crowd and into her car.

16. It's funny how one little cig can make a beautiful woman so unattractive. I'll pass, thanks.

ARE YOU PERFECT
Just because smoking is legal doesn't mean it's smart....
you have missed the point of TMZ's picture.
She plays a doctor on TV (and should know better)....get it?

In real life she is a "holier-than-thou-DIVA"
and like another poster said ..
she is so, so addicted she can't/doesn't even wait to go smoke in private
(like Jennifer Aniston does moslty)
to avoid the STIGMA of being seen smoking.
They don't call it a CANCER STICK for nothin'. (legal or not)

18. I am living proof that smoking does keep your weight down.
I stopped smoking 18 yrs. ago Within the first four months I
gained 11 lbs. I am now 30 lbs heavier. However, it is still
the best thing and the most difficult that I ever had to do.
It is her business. The strength and desire to quit comes

20. I saw the clip of her smoking and thought, what a nit wit. Then again, she is only acting smart on tv. I for one will not watch Grey's...this season for too many reason to get into right now. If that silly chick wants to smoke her way into an early grave I say, chain-smoke away silly girl.

22. TMZ - you guys are incredible. You state in this article that she was very gracious and friendly to the media, yet you just have to find a way to slam her. THIS IS WHY CELEBRITIES TURN AGAINST YOU! Was it really necessary to take the unflattering photograph and report something that has NOTHING to do with her acting or who she is??

Yes, she smokes. No, it's not a wise thing to do. But it's really none of our business and really not a big deal when you consider all of the drugs, drinking, eating disorders, suicides, arrests and complete lack of morality in the entertainment industry.

Let's see if she bothers to even acknowledge you the next time you happen upon her. Then it'll be a story about how rude she is and how she doesn't appreciate her public.

24. She is not very gracious. She not so nicely corrected the person reading her name at the Emmys when introduced to present an award, and she said it again when she won. We all know her name for pete's sake! Also, she stated that her mother said she had "no chance in hell" of winning the Emmy. Did anyone see the look on her mother's face when the cameras were on her? Not cool to do that to Mom!

25. I agree with 'anonymous' Washington and Oh... and Walsh... make that show! And Dempsey and Ponpeo are the 'looks.' I have to say I'm very disappointed Washington is not returning this year and that Heigl has been a strong voice in making that happen...too bad I think a strong cast should come before personal differences any day!

26. ok - let me just say... I was sitting on a bench outside the Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills on Friday Afternoon and saw Katherine Heigl walking in with her Mother. She looked all pissy and was rude to the valet guy when he reminded her that the store was closing in five minutes.

27. Warden, you are an idiot. You really believe that actors chose that profession to hide from thier true selves? Man there are some dummies in this world. At least forrest gump KNEW he was dumb

28. I think the dumbest thing about this story is the statement that she is playing a doctor and shouldn't smoke as if no doctors in the real world smoke.

30. BUT hot. And wait til these women see those tiny lines appearing across their upper lips, they will think they are prematurely aging and it's the cigs they've been sucking on that caused it. And there is nothing that can be done about those lines, can't pull them out, zap them out, they are THERE. So it is quite stupid that these actresses smoke, since they spend their entire lives focused on their looks, and smoking will cause premature aging of the skin.

As for Katherine, never much cared for her. Don't watch the anatomy anymore because too many of the actors are just way too full of themselves. Katherine was riding high at the lunch scene so she was into the autograph thing, basking in the spotlight, but she's usually a diva. She isn't very special in the acting department, or in the looks department. just......nothing much going on there.
